Chapter 342 Stretching the Stage
Robert-Boyd-Holbrook, with an angelic face and a youthful sense of brokenness between his brows, is obviously one year older than Anson. , but his slender and tall figure makes the boyish atmosphere in him more distinct, and he reveals a bit of gloom when he is quiet.
He is a model.
He was discovered as a model while working as a carpenter in a theater in Kentucky. He has not been in the industry for a long time, and was recognized by Eddie Slimane and became a member of this year's Dior October Fashion Week. He is about to step onto the stage that attracts the most attention and truly stand in the spotlight.
Before this, he had always been active in print magazines. This was his first official catwalk, and it was also his first time leaving the United States. You can imagine his nervousness and uneasiness.
Hearing Anson's teasing, Boyd was a little panicked and looked around, "No, I didn't drink... Where could I..."
After a pause, Boyd realized that Anson was Just kidding, a slight blush appeared on his pale face, and he could finally see some blood.
Boyd showed a little helplessness, but didn't know how to defend himself, "I, I prefer others to call me Boyd."
Robert?
Such a name is too ordinary and does not stand out at all in the modeling circle, but Boyd is different, he can easily stand out from the crowd.
Anson raised his chin slightly, "Boyd, so, has the wine bottle been hidden?"
Boyd looked at Anson speechlessly, and in the end he could only lower his head in resignation, "Hide it?" Okay."
"Shh. I will keep it a secret for you." Anson looked at the desperate Boyd with a serious look on his face.
Actually, when Anson met Boyd in his previous life, he was not a model, but an actor——
Although the barriers for models to cross over into actors still exist objectively, with the development of the Internet , the rise of grassroots, and the popularity of self-media, it is a common trend for artists to become more and more diversified. In particular, the emergence of streaming media provides more work opportunities, and the range of actors is also expanding step by step.
In 2017, Boyd appeared in the critically acclaimed movie "The Wolverine 3", playing a villain who is hated to the point of itch. The vicissitudes of life and tough image of an evil tough guy caused Boyd to arouse a lot of discussion, which also became his position as an actor. A turning point and a breakthrough, and then win more performance opportunities.
That was the first time Anson knew Boyd as an actor.
From the brutal tough guy in "Wolverine 3" to the innocent angel in front of you, I have to say that this is a visual impact that completely subverts stereotypes.
In fact, this also proves that actors are malleable. Whether they are shaping characters according to stereotypes, breaking stereotypes to create contrast, or breaking certain shackles through their own changes, different methods can provide Characters breathe life into them, which in turn brings surprises.
At this time, looking at Boyd in front of him, Anson had some inspiration for the next "catwalk audition".
"Anson..."
"Anson."
Continuous calling interrupted Anson's thoughts. The crowd gave way automatically, and then you could see a figure swaying in the rolling heat. Appear.
Eddie Slimane.
There was another figure behind him. He didn't even care about Eddie, but got there first. Before Eddie could speak, "Anson, count down to three minutes."
This is the stage manager. He needs to be responsible for ensuring that the models appear on time, adjusting the order of the catwalk, coordinating the entire catwalk process, and completing the entire show according to the vision of the catwalk director and designer.
There is no doubt that he is a key figure on the catwalk. Even when facing Eddie, he still needs to send out his own reminder to ensure that everyone knows their current position——
If Eddie and Anson already know the time but still delay the show, then the responsibility does not lie with him.
After saying that, he looked at Eddie and nodded politely. Without stopping, he turned around and continued walking, continuing to inform the next group of models.
Eddie:……
Even though his words were interrupted, even though he was anxious and irritable now, he still controlled himself, took a deep breath, and looked at Anson.
"Huh, how do you feel?"
Anson could see that Eddie's face was slightly pale, with neither sweat nor blood visible, and the focus of his eyes was slightly expanded. Kailai - Imagine that this is the first release of Eddie's hard work. It is not only bold but also adventurous and even subversive. How does he feel at this moment?
Anson raised his chin slightly, "I feel like a vampire waiting for the sunrise."
A cold humor, everyone else was shocked, Boyd even had a question mark, but Eddie laughed out loud, "Very good, I just need this kind of spirit."
Anson shrugged lightly, "So, does the designer have anything else to say?"
Eddie wanted to say: Yes.
But when he really saw Anson, Eddie's nervousness and anxiety slowly calmed down.
Eddie said more than once that Dior's first men's wear series was inspired by Anson, which is why he invited Anson.
Eddie knew that it would take risks for actors to guest model on the catwalk. The launch of men's clothing this time was already full of variables. If he chose to be an amateur model, he would have to face more challenges; but Eddie still extended the invitation without hesitation. The reason Very simple——
If anyone can naturally show the essence of his design, it is Anson.
Eddie hopes to see Anson stand on the stage, and even more hopes to see Anson interpret these costumes in his own way and style.
Thinking of this, Eddie regained some composure, "No, just be yourself."
Since Anson arrived in Paris, they have rehearsed many times, so it should be Everything that should be said and should not be said has been communicated once.
Speaking of this matter, Eddie remembered another important point, "Boyd, remember, keep your shoulders steady, your steps steady, and keep your entire center of gravity steady."
Boyd was also on the catwalk for the first time. His question The problem is that he walks too erratically and in a panic, unable to maintain a stable center of gravity on his heels, swaying severely, and making his entire step appear erratic. In fact, he is not suitable for catwalks, and is more suitable for a flat surface. A unique temperament can be captured in a still picture.
It seems that Boyd and Anson are exactly the opposite.
But no matter what, Eddie believed that Boyd was the model besides Anson who could best interpret the essence of design. After much hesitation, he summoned Boyd to Paris.
Boyd was also a little nervous and nodded repeatedly.
The air that finally relaxed became tense again.
Anson stopped persuading, "Rock and roll. Guys, rock and roll, we should let the audience see the rock and roll spirit under these ordinary fabrics."
However, no one responded——
One or two mouths were ready to move, and their arms, shoulders, and bodies could not hold back, but after seeing Eddie, no one dared to move.
Eddie looked at Anson and smiled, a shy smile like a skull, like the resurrected skeleton in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
outfield.
Steven was a little nervous. He was even more nervous than the models. He felt uncomfortable all over. He was really not suitable for such an occasion. Moreover, he was still sitting in the front row. Every cell was screaming "Run away." ".
I originally thought that Tom would not adapt, but when he arrived at the scene, Tom was completely at ease, which made Stevenson hopeless.
He was thinking about whether he should leave early. Anyway, it would be the same to audition another day, when Tom's voice came to his ears.
“It begins.”
